How on earth can this happen? Surely the chiltern driver knew what side of the
line he was on? And why didn't the tripcocks work or have they been removed
from that section of line now?
A lot of interesting history of the line at
http://www.metroland.org.uk/cheshamflyer/
I think that, thanks to the misleading Tube map, a lot of people wrongly
think that Amersham is the most distant LU destination, when it's actually
Chesham.
Certainly since the Met stopped going to Aylesbury. (Change loco from
electric to steam at Rickmansworth).
